Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace

When I visited my brother, I had to sign in every time even though they recognized me. I felt security was good and my brother was safe. The staff and even some of the residents were helpful and friendly. The environment did not feel as a "nursing" home but more like a "home" environment which was an important part of why I chose Merrill Gardens. A Place for Mom was very helpful in locating Merrill Gardens for my brother and I applaud you and thank you for that!

My husband and I had a tour and an informational meeting before we brought mom in. The Admission Director was professional and knew what we were feeling because we hadn’t made a decision yet. We were uncertain about how to approach the subject with my mom. Mom has been a resident for over a few months now. She is thriving and has so many new friends. Loves the food and all the choices. Has joined so many activities, including the Chorus. Last week we went to their show. So much fun! Mom is managing her own schedule and her life. At 87 she has a new chapter and is so happy.

WE chose Merrill Gardens because it was close to our new home and they had vacancies. My loved ones are safe at Merrill Gardens. The staff are friendly and genuinely care about the residents.

My dad was living in another community and I moved him to be closer to my home. The salesperson (Martha) was terrific and assured me that if he fell they would help him up. They didn't, and just called an ambulance every time. He ended up in rehab and when it was time to come back to his apartment they said he had to have a round-the-clock sitter because they couldn't care for him in assisted living. Food was horrible. One night all my dad had available was yogurt cups or jello and I raised hell about that. They "ran out of food" and Monday was the cook's night off.

I feel like the staff I have personally interacted with are very nice and seem to honestly enjoy their jobs. I feel like they are very personable with the tenants. We chose this location for my father for two reasons. One it is very close to our home. The other reason was the monthly cost.

I am very pleased with Merrill Gardens. Very clean, nice environment, the food is very good. My aunt has maintained her weight and tasks about the food always in positive way. The supervisor contacts me in case of anything. I have easy access to text them too. The staff is very nice. They notify me when I go every week is my aunt is not following orders or she gets upset. But I remind her they are there to help her. I do know that it's a bit pricey, but what can I do. I like the diversity that they have person wise.

My mother in law really enjoyed living at Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace. The food was good, and she was well taken care of. She enjoyed the activities as well.

Everything started off great but as my loved one's health declined I had the impression they didn't want him any more and actively took steps to have him placed somewhere else. I did a phone interview with six different communities but we were in a rush and ultimately chose Merrill Gardens due to the proximity to my home. The majority of the staff are wonderful and want the best for the community members.

All the areas below 4 stars could use improvements. The activities and staff are absolutely fantastic. The food is awful, however based on the experience we have had so far with Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace we would recommend them to other families.

My mom is a current resident in assisted living at Merrill Gardens. She went through covid and they left her in her room and the nurse barely helped her with anything. Now she is suffering from the stomach flu or possibly food poisoning. No one will help her. The front desk won't answer. We had to call the ambulance ourselves. This is not a good place for my mom. They can not be trusted to take care of when needed. Isn't that the point of assisted living?

I was very pleased with Solivita Marketplace. Their communication was good, and the staff was personable. The staff and even some of the residents were friendly and helpful. The environment had a "homey" feeling. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable there. The place was kept clean, and the apartment was comfortable.

Merrill Hardens at Solivita Marketplace has been great, I was impressed with them from the start and di not even look at any other facility. The staff is very friendly and they are willing to help you if you need help behind their services provided. I know that my brother-in-law can be very difficult at times and they have been so patient with him and work very well with him and his needs. I would recommend this facility to others.

It is a lovely community and they work to make a person feel welcome and involved if they want to be. They have worked with me when issues came up with my loved one that needed attention. I would like a bit more assistance offered for family who is out of state. Like I need my my loved one's mail sent to me as I am POA and need mail that goes directly to them sent to me but there is not that kind of help. My loved one can't manage it as they have the beginning signs of dementia. There is no one to go to Doctor appts and such (even to pay extra for) so that makes it a bit difficult for out of state family. But we are working around it by visiting as often as we can.

The staff are great. The facility is clean. I would recommend them to others.

I did all of the looking and to me the staff here were the most friendly, the facility was very clean, I saw the food and it looked good. The location is very convenient as well for visitors. It would be helpful if they offered a service to help new residents unpack their things. I would definitely recommend Merrill Gardens at Solivita Marketplace to others.

We enjoy the company the friendships we have made and just overall the community itself. This community is for moms, paps, and everybody.

Our first impression was just that the community is clean - the office people really did a good job showing us around the place, they talked to us about everything that was included. They indicated different discounts for us to sign up for. They have a really good restaurant there and we have just been impressed since the first day.

It was a very easy coordination process getting my family member there. [name removed], the marketing coordinator, was great. Everything came together very quickly and they greeted her with a lot of friendliness. She felt very welcomed into the community. They quickly got her set up with medical care. And they've done a great job letting us know if there are any issues and letting us know what's going on.

I'm very happy with everything going on here. One thing I am a bit disappointed in, is the pool is only 3 & 1/2 feet all the way around. It would also be nice if they added a dog park, but other than that I'm very happy here. My apartment is fantastic; it comes with a full kitchen and a washer & dryer in the unit. They offer activities, which include excursions to restaurants and other places about once or twice a month, and game night with different board games about twice a week. Throughout the day they'll have a lot of people who go off into either partners or groups of 4 to play different card games. Rummikub is a big game here, which I'd never heard of until I moved here. Overall I would recommend Merrill Gardens to others.

I like it here! When I got here, the people were so friendly and made me really want to be here. Overall both the staff and the residents are fantastic. Most of the time I spend in my apartment, but I enjoy going out in the mornings and making a circuit around the building and grounds. Everybody I run into is always saying hello and how are you and are just so kind.
